Arsenal close in on £3m World Cup goalie

Arsenal are close to sealing a £3m deal for Colombian World Cup goalkeeper David Ospina, according to reports from The Metro.

The Gunners are known to be on the lookout for a new stopper after letting back-up man Lukasz Fabianski leave, with Arsene Wenger keen to ensure that Wojciech Szczesny has able competition for the No. 1 berth.

While Mexican and Costa Rican stoppers Guillermo Ochoa and Keylor Navas – both of whom have been linked with switches to the Emirates Stadium – have grabbed many of the goalkeepeing headlines in Brazil in recent weeks, Ospina is thought to be the one Arsenal want.
